Keep comfy outdoors in winter:
Important for warmth is keeping dry, even from perspiration, or exhaling into your scarf; so layering clothes that wick, and carrying spare dry socks and mitts is smart.
Clothing/boots that are tight won't allow airspace to keep you warm and may restrict your circulation.

I have found a great system with socks: I wear a pair of thin cotton first, covered in thick fluffy polypropylene, and another larger pair of cotton or wool to pull the moisture away from my skin. Fold pants under socks, roll outer sock at boot top to keep snow out.
